Because before leaving the prison, Yu Fengcheng had asked about the identity of the person who came over, so they came all the way here, including the moment they fell off the cliff, Wei Xueying was suspicious.

suspected that Yu Fengcheng deliberately guided her here, but now that the two of them were dependent on each other, Wei Xueying dispelled this idea.

If Yu Fengcheng betrayed her, then, before falling off the cliff, Yu Fengcheng should have known that he could escape.

If it weren't for a pine tree on this cliff, they would both have fallen into the abyss and broken bones.

Therefore, Yu Fengcheng should not know either.

"Fengcheng, don't fall asleep, if you fall, you will die." Wei Xueying said.

"Don't worry, princess, I've slept before, and I can withstand it now." He replied.

The distance between them was nearly two meters, and Wei Xueying hugged the tree trunk, only to feel the wind blowing uncontrollably, and her skirt and sleeves fluttered uncontrollably.

She thought that her current appearance must be very embarrassing.

The waiting time was extremely difficult, there was still a long time before dawn, Wei Xueying was very bored, so she looked at everything around her in the white moonlight.

After living on Swallow Mountain for a few days, she is still familiar with Swallow Mountain.

The structure of Swallow Mountain is very steep, the cliffs are everywhere, and in the cottage, she has also heard everyone talk about the strange talk on this Swallow Mountain.

The reason why it is called Swallow Mountain is still a beautiful legend.

Legend has it that at the beginning of the opening of heaven and earth, there was a beautiful girl named Yanzi, Yanzi was born poor, but her ambition was noble, a chance encounter, Yanzi made a solid immortal in the sky, two people reflected each other, admired each other, and the immortals in the sky disliked Yanzi, she turned her into an ugly rock.

As the days go by, the swallow's tears are the springs and waterfalls on this mountain, and the flowers and trees are her hair and clothes, and the scenery here is as beautiful as the swallows.

And the immortal who fell in love with the swallow sat in this swallow mountain all day long, transforming into a mountain ghost.

For hundreds of years, people have often seen ragged strangers in this swallow mountain, that is, immortals who are willing to fall. He has always been guarding the swallow and has never left.

Talking about this, Lao Jiu patted his chest and swore that he had seen mountain ghosts.

The mountain ghost is really as the legend says, thin and small, draped in tattered clothes, and crawling on the cliff tremblingly.

At this moment, Wei Xueying suddenly thought of this story, and told this story to Yu Fengcheng.

After hearing this, Yu Fengcheng told Wei Xueying with emotion: "Princess, the reason why the old lady will be buried on this mountain is because of this legend. The emperor favored the old lady, although the old lady had no name, but she favored the harem for a while, and the emperor once wanted to set her up, but at this time she was opposed by the people of the world. ”

"Why opposition?"

"The people of Northern Chu, as well as the courtiers, can't accept a low-born palace slave as their queen, so for this matter, the emperor can be said to have suffered a lot of pressure, and later the matter ended because of the sudden death of the old lady, so the emperor remembered this story and buried the old lady on the cliff of Swallow Mountain, which is the place with the widest view of the imperial city." Yu Fengcheng explained.

At this point, Wei Xueying finally understood why the old lady was buried here, and it seemed that it was not a spur of the moment.

The problem is, she thought that Chu Ling's mother was a palace maid, but she didn't expect that this matter was not what she imagined, but a palace slave?

"Fengcheng, what is a palace slave?" She asked.

"Palace slaves are slaves who are captured from other countries, or children of families who have made mistakes, and the royal family has let them enter the palace as slaves in order to punish them."

"So, what kind of old lady is it?" Wei Xueying continued to ask curiously.

If Chu Ling's biological mother came from a family, even if she was once a slave, she would not be too low.

The moonlight shone on Yu Fengcheng, his eyes were faintly filled with sadness, Yu Fengcheng pondered for a moment, and said: "The old lady is a captive, she was originally the maid of the princess of Nan Yingguo, in a war, she and the princess were captured by Bei Chu together, and they were taken into the palace as hostages, but I didn't expect Nan Yingguo to send someone to redeem them, so she stayed in the palace and washed for the emperor." ”

At this time, Wei Xueying understood that everyone objected, not only because she was from a lowly background and was a palace slave, but also because she was from Nanying Kingdom.

"Hey, speaking of which, the prince is also a hard-working person, when the emperor got the son of the prince, he was very happy, and he wanted him to become a dragon and phoenix among the people, so he wanted to give the name Chu Feng, but the emperor and others disagreed, and sneered that the prince was not even worthy of the feathers on the phoenix, so he was given a name, named Chu Ling." Yu Fengcheng talked about this old incident, and he didn't feel that he had offended the prince.

Originally, it was not his turn to talk about the prince's affairs, but Yu Fengcheng wanted to tell Wei Xueying that the prince was also a person with a tragic past.

Wei Xueying has a good background, she has been pampered since she was a child, and her reputation in the imperial city is not very good, everyone says that she is overly arrogant.

Originally, she married into the palace, but Yu Fengcheng was very optimistic about this marriage.

Although I don't know why the prince insists on marrying Wei Xueying, in a sense, Wei Xueying was born in the Wei family and can be regarded as Chu Ling's enemy, but after getting along for so many days, Yu Fengcheng has already eliminated prejudice against Wei Xueying.

He hoped that Wei Xueying would know that Chu Ling was a very good man and worthy of her cherishment.

Yu Fengcheng could see that the prince really liked Wei Xueying.

He always wanted to protect Wei Xueying, no matter what decision Wei Xueying made or where she was going, Chu Ling was willing to follow her in Fengcheng.

Wei Xueying listened to Chu Ling's past, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

He, like her, had a miserable birth.

*

At sunrise, the sky finally lit up, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the cliff, Wei Xueying opened her eyes, the morning sun in the distance was slowly rising, the sky was not as refreshing as usual, gray, blowing a slightly humid wind.

Yu Fengcheng was closing his eyes and recuperating, and after feeling the darkness being dispelled little by little, he looked up at the cliff above his head.

The mountain of Swallow Mountain is very thrilling, and this cliff is even more so.

There were not many trees on the rocky mountain, so he said to Wei Xueying, "Princess, let's go up together." ”

He used his hands and feet together, and he climbed up.

Wei Xueying followed Yu Fengcheng, and the two of them climbed up and down.

She estimated in her mind that she would have to climb for most of the day before she could go up.

Just as Wei Xueying was crawling hard, she saw a shadow not far away crawling quickly, it was a recognizable human figure, as Lao Jiu said, it was a ragged person, he opened a dense vine on the cliff, revealing a black hole, the person quickly climbed out of the hole, and happened to be seen by Wei Xueying.
